last week I was sitting on the couch, recovering from a brief bout of food poisoning, when Hol called me into our Cambodian bedroom.
I went to stand next to her at the windows facing the neighbor's home. We peeked behind the blinds and there, just a few feet away from us, was a little one, maybe 1 or 2 years old, sitting in a hammock in his house, being pushed by his mama.
as he swung back and forth his laughter rung out; the high, delighted laughter of a little one filled with absolute joy at swinging, at coming nearer and closer to his mama, at the moment of feeling safe while being flung to and fro.
his delight was radiant on his face- a smile so bright, so full, so complete. it reflected not only the beauty and adventure of swinging, but of coming near to the one he loves.
a glimpse of God through our window.
thank you Lord for the beauty of who you are revealed in the laughter of a smiling child.

i love that God draws so near to us as to make God's self known through our window, through a little life next door, through laughter, and all things that fill such beautiful moments.
i will hold these beautiful words of yours close, and never forget to expect to see God in such places.
